Description Tomas Frydrych 2009-06-24 07:55:33 UTC 
The --with-clutter and --with-introspection options have been formally changed to --enable-clutter --enable-introspection, but the help strings were not updated and the configure script continues to use of with_ variables for these, so these options no longer work (i.e., --disable-introspection has no effect).

BTW, why were these changed ? I think these should be --with-, not --enable-.

They should be --with. I pointed the issue out in review but I guess it sneaked through anyways (there was a lot of stuff going on in the rename.)

I've gone ahead and changed them back.

    Fix accidental rename of --with-clutter/--with-introspection options
    
    Since --with-clutter and --with-introspection refer to use of external
    libraries, they should in fact be --with and not --enable. Fix accidental
    change that got committed as part of the big metacity => mutter change.
